Misfit | 102 comments Hi, I tried looking at editing author data to see if there is a pseudonym field but I can't find it. Author nicola Thorne also writes under the name of Katherine Yorke. I have a book of Thorne's right in front of me where she says so in her own foreword. Is there a way to tie them together?

Under the Yorke name there is a trilogy that is also in a one volume edition published under the Thorne name. Confused?

The Enchantress Saga by Nicola Thorne The Enchantress (Enchantress, #1) by Katherine Yorke Falcon Fury (Enchantress, #3) by Katherine Yorke
Falcon Gold (Enchantress, #2) by Katherine Yorke

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments There isn't yet a pseudonym field available; you should put the information in each author's bio with a link to the other author bio.

If you need to list a different name on an edition in order to combine it with other editions of the same book which were published with the other name, you can use an author role of "pseudonym" for the pseudonym name.

Is this the correct listing of the books in the series?

Yes, I believe that order is correct, although in my edition (the three in one) book #3 is Lady of the Lakes.

Looks like that's Falcon's Fury published under a different title -- I've combined them.

Megan Costello | 3 comments Try it this way:

Nicola Thorne (aka Katherine Yorke)

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Megan, the problem with using "Katherine Yorke" as the author role instead of a secondary author is that the role field won't link to an author profile and won't be searchable. For now, the author should be listed twice, if necessary, so that each name is a separate profile.
